Yep I have searched high and low on the web, I got a few plugins that are about 2 to 5 years ago but non of them seem to work because the scene I have is very large.

The plugins do work but in after effects all the nulls and camera are way off or are not moving at all.

Please help I need to know a workflow on how to get Softimage nulls, cameras and lights to After Effects. I don't care even if the plugin costs money I just need a plugin that can do this between XSI and AE.

OK here is my update and by the way let my know if there is already a more perfected version of this technique.

First of all the DAEtoAE software is a little buggy so I am still working on that but I have found a super fast way of getting Nulls, Lights and camera movement into AE. the only down side to this is all of the motions happen in 2D but here is how I did this.

I select all the lights and nulls or the ones you want to pin an effect to then drop them into a separate layer then render only that layer, the result is the image you see to the right. Next I track all the points in AE which takes about a min if you have each light or null a different color, finaly I drop all my effects and done.
